NEW ART project !


Andy Sauder ED Arts Council Member's donates 5 prints of his brillant Irish Wolf Hound drinnking a beer.

Genuine original art done in honor of the Shamrocks program, the food pantries that benefit and for fun. Artist is MaryKay Harvey. Founder of For-Charity, where art is the key to solving problems.

A genuine artist with heart! David Bremer was the first to volunteer and the first to complete his official one-of-a-kind pieces for Charity. His work is indeed special, and we love it.
Since 2018 the Shamrocks for Charity project has collected more than $49.000!
Local establishments sell and display handcrafted postcard signed shamrocks for $5. Year after year our Shamrocks have been recycled and reused.
In 2022 we expanded and sold customized commemorative buttons and suspenders to help raise over $7000. In fact, we are very proud to say every penny collected for the Shamrock’s sale leading up to the Parade has raised more money year after year!
We hope to continue that tradition in 2026 and are happy to involve more businesses to help us.
If you have any questions or suggestions – we want to hear them!
